A
I truly thought thatI might die that day. Had I not seen three bears and a few wolves over the last couple of days near the road, I might have just lain down and called it quits. What in the world was I thinking, dragging my bike up to Yellowstone and thinking I could ride from West Yellowstone to Old Faithful in the snow? No less!
I had planned this trip for more than two months, and I wasn't about to give up so easily. The first few miles were beautiful. Ten miles in, I started sucking wind. Fifteen miles and my legs felt like they were made of lead. By twenty miles, my lungs were burning and felt like there was nothing left in the tank. That was when I turned around and saw my husband and three children cheering me on in the van behind me. I knew I couldn't quit because I tell my children all the time that just because something is hard doesn't mean that you stop doing it. I had to live what I'd been preaching(说教). That thought got me up that mountain and to the end of the ride.
The importance of that ride was apparent after only a week. My eight-year-old daughter Emalee wanted to ride in a twelve-mile charity ride. That day was cold as well. She was the youngest rider. About four miles into the ride, she started feeling cold. The chill(寒冷)was making her muscles cramp a little and she began to struggle. By six miles, she had tears running down her face. It broke my heart to see her suffering like that.I told herthat she didn't have to finish. She said that she wouldn't quit. I told her how I had wanted to quit the week before, but perseverance had gotten me to the end and I knew she could do it, too.
The look on her face as she pulled into the finish was priceless. She threw her arms around me and said, “You didn't quit, Mommy, so neither did I.”
1. What motivated the author to finish her ride?
A. Her family's encouragement.
B. Her own instruction for children.
C. The beautiful scenery and weather.
D. The careful and thorough preparation.
2. By describing the conditions Emalee met, the author wanted to________.
A. show her guilt for her daughter
B. prove that riding is a tough task
C. persuade her daughter to give up
D. indicate she was proud of Emalee
3. What does the author want to tell us according to the story?
A. Never say die.
B. Do nothing by halves.
C. Children are what the mothers are.
D. Every mother's child is handsome.
B
To hear people talk about Internet friendships, you would think it was one giant web of cat-fishing and e-crime. While we all undoubtedly have to take measures to remain safe online, assuming every friendship or connection made on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook is cheating or insincere would be a mistake.
As a woman who works in the creative industry, I have found real joy in seeking out a community I couldn’t find elsewhere, and making some great friends along the way. My first online friendship was on Twitter with my(now) best friend, during the university exam period. We exchanged study notes in dozens of direct messages, set a study date, and haven’t looked back since.
Drawn to each other by similar circumstances, friendships online are similar to offline in that they tend to begin because of shared interest or common ground-maybe they’ve read the post on Instagram. Maybe they have the same taste in food or politics. Or maybe they just love memes too. If online friendships start similar to friendships offline, they grow in the same way, too. Often through mutual support: apart from calling a friend to congratulate him on that new job, you also re-tweet his jokes and praise his Instagram story.
Despite my positive experiences when I tell people, most are still suspicious. Eyebrows are raised higher when I explain not only have I found a community online but have made friendships with people I meet face-to-face too. Actually, these are just as valid as other friendships, according to behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings, who says online friendships can be real.
So how do you know if people are there for the real you or just because you’re popular on Instagram? Hemmings has simple rules. She tells me “You have to equally feel comfortable that you’re getting something of each other instead of being used to enable something that isn’t friendship.”
Therefore, if all a “friend” online is asking you to do is to promote their work or personal brand and rarely takes an interest in you, then there may be room to question the basis of the friendship. On that note it is worth remembering that just because someone has a lot of followers, it doesn’t necessarily mean they have lots of
friends.
4. What is most people’s attitude towards online friendship?
A. Negative.
B. Positive.
C. Objective.
D. Neutral.
5. Why does the writer share her own experience in paragraph 2?
A. To introduce the background information of the text.
B. To convey the writer’s attitude and give the related example.
C. To prove the likely risk for people to develop friendship online.
D. To remind people of the various benefits of making friends online.
6. How can online and offline friendships be deepened?
A. They should be based on shared interest.
B. They need to have common ground.
C. They require support from each other.
D. They can’t live without social media.
7. According to the author, what’s the golden rule to make friends online?
A. A friend to all is a friend to none.
B. Without confidence there is no friendship.
C. A friend without faults will never be found.
D. Friendship cannot stand always on one side.
C
People from Britain and Ireland first came to live in Australia in 1788. They brought different dialects (方言) of English with them. These different kinds of English began to mix and change. The newcomers soon began to speak with their own typical accent (口音) and vocabulary. More and more people came to Australia during the Gold Rush in the 19th and 20th centuries. Some came from Britain and Ireland; others came from non-English speaking countries. Australian English continued to grow and change.
Australian English has also been influenced by American English. During the Second World War, there were many American soldiers staying in Australia. More importantly, American television shows and music have been popular in Australia since the 1950s.
Australians use many words that other English speakers do not use. The famous Australian greeting, for example, is G’day! A native forest is called the bush and central Australia is called the outback. Many words were brought to Australia from Britain and Ireland. For example, mate means “friend”, and it is still used in Britain. Some of these words have changed in meaning. Some words have come from Australian original languages, many of which are names for animals, plants and places, like dingo and kangaroo.
Australian spelling comes from British spelling. In words like organise and realise, -ise is the expected and taught spelling method. In words like colour, favourite, -ouris the normal, but nouns such as the Labor Party and Victor Harbor are spelled with -or. Program, on the other hand, is more common than programme.
There are also differences in the definition (定义) of words Australians use in different parts of the country. For example, football means “rugby” in New South Wales and Queensland, but “Australian rules football" in everywhere else in Australia. In New South Wales, a swimming costume is called a cossie or swimmers, while in Queensland it is called togs and bathers in Victoria.
8. What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about?
A. Reasons why English is important.
B. Different dialects of Australian English.
C. Various aspects that Australian English has been influenced.
D. Changes of the accent and vocabulary in English.
9. According to the text, which of the following is spoken only by Australians?
A. Mate.
B. Outback.
C. Program.
D. Rugby.
10. Which is the following can best describe Australian English?
A. Confusing and interesting.
B. Multicultural and creative.
C. Crazy and boring.
D. Unchangeable and mixed.
11. What might be the best title for the text?
A. The History of Australia
B. The Birth of Australian English
C. The Development of Australian English
D Different Kinds of English Across the World
D
Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe.
I had been abroad a couple of times, but I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.
I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation system？It seemed impossible, and with considerable regret. Suddenly a thought ran through my mind: you can't learn if you don't try. So I accepted the assignment.
There were some bad moments. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. And ever since, I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places, without guides or even advanced bookings, confident that somehow I will manage.
The point is that the new, along with the different, is almost scary by definition. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.
I've learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon. And I know I'll go on doing such things. It's not because I'm braver or more daring than others. I'm not. But I'll accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can accomplish wonders.
12. The author accepted the assignment because_________.
A. he had never travelled abroad before
B. he hardly knew any foreign languages
C. he was familiar with any other country in Europe
D. he would learn something new and different by trying
13. Which of the following statements is TRUE？
A. The author had been abroad only twice.
B. The author thought the trip was hard but worthwhile.
C. The author admitted that anything different was terrible.
D. The author must be good at doing research and making interviews.
14. We can infer from the text that the author is_______.
A. awkward
B. generous
C. stubborn
D. brave
15. What's the best title of the text？
A. An Interesting Trip Abroad
B. My First Writing Assignment
C. Ready to Try and Challenge
D. How to Be Daring and Brave.
